Pacific Coral Reefs Side Event at the 28th SPREP Meeting

In the light of the predicted adverse impacts of warming oceans on coral reefs, the long-term health of Pacific reefs depends on strong leadership and sound management. New actions and tools to support reef resilience were launched today in a special event as part of the annual meeting of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). This event was supported by France, as part of its contributions to improving management of coral reefs and coastal and marine environments, globally and in the Pacific. Jean-Luc Fauré-Tournaire, Deputy Permanent Representative to SPREP and SPC, presented and promoted the work of ICRI, also announcing the ICRI 2018 International Year of the Reef (IYOR).

This event was funded with the support of the Government of Sweden.
